Storyline

Po reunites with his biological father and returns to his birthplace—a secret panda paradise, where he does not fit in. There he meets Mei Mei, an overly eager panda, who has been promised in an arranged marriage to Po. When an evil spirit called Kai terrorizes China and steals powers of defeated kung fu masters, Po must learn to train a village of clumsy, fun-loving pandas to become the band of Kung Fu Pandas.

Miscellaneous When Oogway fight with General Kai face to face in the Spirit World, he wrote the Chinese character Chi and pushed it to attack Kai. Since the audience can see this Chinese character in the right way, that means Oogway wrote this Chinese character in the opposite way (like in a mirror), which is awkward
